Taster courses enable you to get a good idea of university life. The lectures, seminars and exercise courses available are taken from actual modules on students’ degree plans. All of the taster courses available give participants an insight into the subject, even if they do not have any prior knowledge of the area.
Here you will find more information about the programs our university has to offer and what it looks like to study at the University of Mannheim:
